moon letters, and elrond saw them because he held it up to the moon

hmm lets seeee....

Found in the text, give a summary of how the game of golf was invented in ME.

There was an invasion of the Shire by goblins. Bullroarer Took hit the head goblin in the head with a club. The head flew off and landed in a rabbit hole, 'thus ending the battle and inventing the game of golf at the same time'.

haha! That always makes me laugh! Nice work, you're up. :cool:

Ten days pass...

On what day were Thorin&Co captured by the goblins and what day did they escape?

Captured on Monday nite or Tuesday morn...escaped on Thursday.

Kudos to you, luthien-elvenprincess.

dont have book with me, so could be wrong but- black?

Describe the door at Bag-End.

Round and green with a doorknob smack dab in the middle! :)

Describe a hobbit hole. (Straight from the book, if you can.)

Quote:

Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of womrs and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat. It was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable hole without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats- the hobbit was found of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill - The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it - and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for this hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole room devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the left-hand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deep-set round windows looking over his garden, and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river.

Phew!

Yes! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Go ahead Firefoot!

When and why did Bilbo name his sword?

I believe it was in Mirkwood when he was fighting the spiders, and he named it Sting because he was like a stinging bee.

Why did the three trolls turn into stone?

Because they were caught unawares in the sun, by the wits of Gandalf, who made them argue against each other.

Who was the person that even Bilbo didn't need to be told to fear?
